Mr. Lam stated that at the last General Plan meeting the Planning Commission adopted a resolution addressing animals in a policy guideline that would be incorporated within the General Plan. Mr. Lam also stated that staff has been working with the Alta Loma Riding Club and was recommending t:lat substansive portions of the equestrian trail plan which was provided by the Alta Loma Riding Club be incorporated into the General Plan. Mr_ Lam explained that one of the recommendations that an Equestrian Committee be formed had already been acknowledged at the last_ Planning Commission meeting. This Equestrian Committee would serve as a liaison with staff to review future tracts coming before the City to look at the trails systems that were being proposed. Mr. Lam asked that the Planning Commission direct staff with regard to any other recommendations. Chairman Dahl asked.the Planning Commission if they wished to provide direction to staff at this time or first go on with the public hearing portion. It was the consensus of the Commission that the public hearings proceed first. Mr. Stan Sievers, 6481 Orangethorpe Avenue, Buena Park, indicated that he owned 84 acres that were known to the City as the Roberts Group. He stated that he would like to sae the property zoned as is and that the Edison Power lines be the natural cut off. He further indicated that the General Plan has put a blight on property and they would like to have resolution of the problems created by the General Plan. Ms. Tony Quezada, representing the Roberts Group, 6210 Wilshire Boulevard, Los Angeles, requested the deletion of hillside density and an increase to 2 -3 units to the acre. Planning Commission Minutes -2- December 18, 1981 Mr. Chuck Schneider, 9152 Hidden Farm Road, stated that he thought what Mr. Young said was good and that his business acumen is needed. However, he felt, that the people of Rancho Cucamonga could get the best of two worlds. He hoped that the people would get together and get the General Plan through and not have the State or Federal Government taking over local control. He further stated that it was better to plan at the local level. Mr. Schneider asked questions about inclusionary zoning, density bonuses, and trade -offs relative to the Roberts Group proposal. He stated that he did not want to see any trade -offs of any kind in that area. Mr. Schneider also spoke of the activity node on the west side of Haven and felt that it should not be allowed. Mary Barlow, representative in the Alta Loma CAC, stated that she wished to read a letter from the Citizens Advisory Commission relative to densities. Mrs. Barlow expressed 12 points within the letter summarizing that industrial development should not dictate the residential areas. Mr. Vic Cherbak, 9020 Cinch Ring Lane, indicated that open space, horse trails should be maintained. He also suggested that horses be registered and that a fee be paid to keep the areas free of flies. He indicated that he has 300 acres and keepshorses in an area designated as open space and felt that animals should not be kept in areas that are compatible with that designation. Mr. David Barker, 950' Citation Court, expressed concern with the effect of trade -offs, density bonuses, inclusionary zoning, etc. as they deal with actual housing. He cited a need for communication so that there would be an understanding of what is proposed. There being no further comments, this portion of the public hearing was closed. Chairman Dahl stated that from what he had heard both for and against regarding the R -1- 20,000, very low density, and the area near Chaffey, the Planning Commission must come up with a viable answer. He further stated that if there were no further comments, staff had prepared a resolution that would be discussed. Commissioner King stated that he would abstain from any recommendations and discussion on the Roberts Group proposal as previously stated because of a possible conflict of interest. Commissioner Tolstcy stated that he wished to see the statement that was contained in the Interim General Plan on page 19 included in this General Plan relative to Chaffey College land use. Mr. Lam stated that this statement would be appropriate on pages 186 -187 of the General Plan text. Commissioner S.eranka stated that he would like to see a part of the Resolution for the Roberts Group amended to clarify the second to the last sentence that the area remain In Hillside Rc:aidential and very low density. He requested that this be changed to state that the area remain in very low density. Planning Commission Minutes -4- December 18, 1981 Mr. Roy Schau,)en, 11028 Wilson Avenue, who stated that he represented homeowners in the Deer Creek area, requested that the area off of Wilson and Banyan imtnedi$tely east of Chaffey College be re- examined as he did not like the transition that had been recommended for that area. He asked that the area between Banyan and Wilson be zone 2 -•4 dwelling units per acre and below that, 5 -8 dwelling units per acre, which he felt would be more reasonable. Mr. Leon V. Kedi.ng, CME Engineering Associates, representing Wallner Enterprises, stated that they have filed a subdivision of 108 lots and find the proposed plan shows hillside zoning without standards for development. He stated that standards should be developed so that they, as developers, would know what was expected. Otherwise, he stated, his client wants a designation of low residential density. Ms. Jan Peterson, Divecsified,Investment Company, Costa Mesa, stated that they concurred with the staff recommendation for their project at Archiblad and Base Line and requested that the proposed General Plan conform with the Interim Plar. and zoning for that area. Mr. Alan Snapp, architect, representing Peter and Stanley Allen, developers of garden apartments on Highland abutting Haven, stated that they wished to withdraw their request for a change and asked that this area remain in R -3. He further stated that there may be some indication for additional offices in the future, but they concur with the designation for this area at the present time. Mr. Bob Young, 9408 Hillside Road, Alta Loma, stated that he agreed with the right of people to keep animals in appropriate zoning; however, would not support a zone change in an area which is already developed that would allow the keeping of animals. He further stated that the economy of the City will suffer with a low growth posture and indicated that there must be affordable housing in order to attract commercial and industrial facilities within the City and to support future City services. He stated that he was speakizie, for the equality of rights of those people who are in the majority and that he did not feel that the City should zone for a minority who want low growth. He asked the Planning Commission to consider what was logical, fair and reasonable for the City in determining the General Plan. 1 Ms. Mary Pollock, 9043 Cabellero Avenue, Alta Loma, who stated she was an educator, voiced her concern for development at the top of Beryl. and the possible impacts that would be created by putting more students into the Alta Loma area. She indicated that education should be a great priority in consideration. of General Plan densities. Mr. Stan Antlocer, 8986 Appaloosa, Alta Loma, requested that consideration be given to fire hazards that would be created by increasing densities in north Alta Loma. Planning Commission Minutes -3- December 18, 1981 4 Commissioner. King stated that he did not wish to talk about what had Just been discussed but felt that the northeast corner of 19th and Hermosa that is currently proposed for mixed use or neighborhood commercial should go back to residential. Chairman Dahl stated that in answer to questions relative to densities and for clarification, Hillside Residential should not be more than 2 unita per acre; however, the actual amount of development on any hillside property shall be determined by environmental studies. Commissioner Tolstoy stated that he did not see how that would be fair because they would be asking a person who wants to build -a single house to do an EIR and asked Mr. Lam for clarification. Mr. Tar. replied that actual density would be no more than 2 units per acre and would depend upon an environmental examination to see if there were any special circumstances that would indicate that there should be a lower density. Commissioner Tolstoy stated that this doesn't say that he must have an EIR. Mr. Hogan stated that for clarification, people constructing a single home would be exempt from the requirements. Commissioner Sceranka stated that perhaps the first portion should be left to state that the maximum density of Hillside Residential shall be no more than two units per acre. There was consensus among the Commission that this be worded as stated. Commissioner Tolstoy asked if there was agreement from the Commission on the statement regarding Chaffey College. The Commission consensus was that it should be included in tiie General Plan but should perhaps be reworded and brought back to the next meeting. Mr. Lam stated that there was one more thing that needed to be addre3sed and that was the definition of the open space category_ Mr. Lam further stated that there are differences between the Blayney Plan definition for open space and this plan which would call it Hillside Residential rather than open space. The former, he stated, was 1 per 10 acres and he asked the Commission if they wished to retain that designation. Commissioner Rempel stated that this should really come back before the Commission as an open space item. Further, that he would like to have the recommendation include the proper EIR density because depending on the .land area, the open space or Hillside Residential might go down to 1, 2 or less units per acre. Mr. Hogan stated that in light of Mr. Rempel's comments, at a bearing before the LAFC that dealt with the Foothill area when Mr. Rempel was Chairman and Mr. Frost, Mayor, there was an agreement verbally that the foothill area be put into the sphere of influence of the City for the area above Planning Commission Minutes -5- December 18, 1981 ® 0 Archibald and Haven and that the density be 1 unit per acre. He indicated that staff would like to put this information together and bring it back to the Commission. Commissioner Sceran'.:a stated that he would also like staff to look at the distinction between open space and hillside residential because he thought there might be some redundancy. Y Chairman Dahl asked for clarification and agreement that hillside residential is 2 or less units per acre. Commissioner Rempel stated that he was in agreement and moved that the resolution be adopted with the omission of Item A and that this be taken up as a separate motion. Further, that the Commission adopt language that hillside residential is 2 or less units per acre and equal to the very low density maximums and that the Chaffey College statement be added. Commissioner King stated that he had a conflict with what had been added relative to the definition of hillside residential. Mr. Rempel indicated that he would elimivate that portion from this motion and put it in a separate motion. Commissioner Sceranka seconded the motion which omitted Item A from the Resolution and added a statement relative to Chaffey College in the Sedway /Cooke Plan and the 5 items shown on the screen. Mr. Lam then read the resolution to the audience for their understanding of what the Commission had done. AYES: COMMISSIONERS: REMPEL, SCERANKA, KING, TOLSTOY, DAHL NOES: COMMISSIONERS: NONE ASSENT: COMMISSIONERS: NONE - carried- Commissioner Sceranka then moved that the maximum density in hillside residential be clarified and that Item A previously omitted from the Resolution primary to the General Plan process be adopted. Commissioner Tolstoy seconded the motion. AYES: COMMISSIONERS: SCERAA'KA, TOLSTOY, REMPEL, DAHL NOES: COMMISSIONERS: NONF. ABSENT: COMMISSIONERS: NONE ABSTAIN: CUMMISS1014ERS: KING - carried- Commissioner King's abstention was for previously stated reasons, dealing with possible conflict of interest. Planning Commission Minutes -6- December 18, 1981 9:00 P.M. The Planning Commission recessed. 9:22 p.m. The Planning Commission reconvened. Mr. Lam made a presentation on what the directions of the City are for the future and read the General Plan goals to the Planning Conanission. Commissioner Rempel stated that tie had a problem with the goals under Energy. He further stated that the way it i;; worded it is impossible to meet the goals of the City and felt that this section needed to be reworded. Chairman Dahl opened the public hearing portion. Mr. Jim Banks, Etiwanda resident, indicated that he had a lot of respect for the General Plan goals, however, he felt that they are loose and might be interpreted in many different ways. He strongly suggested that the Planning Commission decide. which goals are most important and which are less important and restructure the wording. Mr. Ralph Lewis, Developer, indicated his support of what the General Plan proposed. There being no further comments, the public portion was closed. Commissioner Sceranka commented on Mr. Banks' statement, indicating that it was difficult to come up with something specific and still have it be a goal. Chairman Dahl stated that his definition of goals is the maximum level of what you are able to achieve. Further, that he dial not know how this would be measured but that they would have to start some place and that it would be best to start with the most important areas ar_d go from there. Commissioner Tolstoy stated that he had a problem with that since this goals statement is to be a guideline for the :ity over a long period of time. Further, with people moving in and the area changing, you might prioritize in a way that what was important at a given time is no longer as important. He stated that he did not sec how what-you put down as foremost tonight could be held as foremost a year from now. Chairman Dahl stated that he agreed with Corunissioner Tolstoy. Chairman Dahl stated that to come up with specific goals at this point in time would be difficult. He suggested that the goals be monitored In a few years time to see how far they have come. He added that they may not be able to measure the movement effectively, however. Motion: Moved by Scerpnka, seconded by Rempel, carried unanimously, to adopt the goals as amended, and ask staff to come back with the changes requested to the Energy Element. Mr. Lam then presented the Housing Element to the Planning; Commission, explained the interface of the Growth Management Plan and through the use of charts, showed the relationship of land use, housing and income. ` ' Plaihiing Commission Minutes —7— December 18, 1981 Mr. Lam spoke of the directions of the City in the future and explained to the Planning Commission the importance and necessity of adoption of the General Plan by the extension date of May 3, 1981, in order that the 1977 Routing Element' Guidelines be uGed. Mr. Lam also explained that there must be internal consistency with all of the elements in the General. Plan and that the Plan has seven major objectives which he discussed. Mr. Lam asked that the Commission examine the Housing Element and provide staff with direction as to any wording or changes that they wished to make. 10:00 P.M. Commissioner K:Lng asked to be. excused. Chairman Dahl opened the publ.•.c hearing portion. Ms. Kay Matlock, Lewis Houtes, Upland, expressed a question relative to the housing policy and asked if it was the Commission's intention to examine only the goals in tbe! Housing Element or also the objectives. Mr. Lam responded that it wars Staff'o intention to review the objectives as it was difficult enough to come to ,agreement on just these without the overall policies. Commissioner Sceranka indicated his concurrence with Mr. Lam's statement. Ms. Kay Matlock then stated ':hat she supported the objectives wholeheartedly and would save her comments :-or later on more specific areas. Mr. Don Baer, Etiwanda, indicated that there were mistakes in the comparison of homes and their prices and indicated further that these were on page 68 of the text. He stated that this may be a mistake but a comparison is being made between medium and high cost housing and is not proper. Commissioner Sceranka stated that he did not understand Mr. Baer's point. Mr. Baer stated that the whole section on housing is supposed to address all facets of housing, low, medium and high cost it appeared that the Housing Element addresses low cost housing and nothing else. Mr. Ralph Lewis, president of Lewis Homes, stated that he concurred with what Mr. Lam had said. He indicated that he has never had any problem in providing for higher cost: housing and Mr. Lam's explanation of why lower cost housing must be consiaered was accurate. Mr. Lewis also stated that where more people need help is in the lower cost housing and this could be accomplished through densities or through government subsidies. Commissioner Rempel stated that he felt that the General Plan really does address housing needs because when you are saying that you are setting densities at 2 homes per acre you are providing for higher income homes. He further stated that whenever you are legislating, you are 1, lslating for the item that is not being produced. The lower income homes and moderate income homebuyern are the ones who are being forced out of housing not the higher income home 'buyers, he stated. There being no further comments, the public hearing was.closed. Planning Commission Minutes -8- December 18, 1981 11 11 Commissioner Sceranka stated that he wished to reply to Mr. Baer'.-3 comments. He stated that the reference to the 35 pages on goals and how they don't relate to higher incomes in the City could be answered by objective 3 which states that we must preserve existing housing stock in existing neighborhoods, which he felt was the particular kind of thing that they have been talki=;- about. Commissioner Sceranka stated that goal number 5 to encc7 -oader range of housing types in terms of cost, construction n:';' nd design, refers to all income groups and all housing types. Furt.,. •-`ere was an objective that he wanted to state a little more cleari.. ;.•t was unsure of the wording, and that was his belief in a statement contained in the staff report which he would like to see incorporated in the objectives that the existing community be preserved and protected. He asked that staff bring this back as an objective. Comm ssioner Tolstoy stated that in reading over the objectives he found no fault. He indicated that he had a problem with the policies and programs, not in what they say, but in how they will be achieved. He further stated that s.nce the Commission is talking about objectives he agreed with them wholeheartedly and was not sure that ,ie agreed with the change that Commissioner Sceranka proposed but perhaps sta5i could word that in such a way that it would be all right. Motion: Moved by Sceranka, seconded br Rempel, carried unanimously, that the Commission adopt the objectives as shown and that the idea that was stated by Commissioner Sceranka be worked on by staff and brought back to the Commission as a possible addition. AYES: COMMISSIONERS: NOES: COMMISSIONERS: SCERANKA, REMPEL, TOLSTOY, DP.i1L NONE ABSENT = COMMISSIONERS: KING - carried- Commit;si.,aer Tolstoy asked when the Commission would begin the consideration of policies and programs. e Mr. Lan replied that it would begin at their next meeting. Commissioner Tolstoy asked if some examples might be brought to the next, meeting to show how the policies and programs might be implemented. He stated that he had nothing against them, just that he had a hard time in understanding how they would be achieved. Mr. Hogan asked if there were any in particular thnt the Commission wanted to examine. Commissioner Tolstoy replied that IC, 2A and 2B would be his choices. Chairman Dahl asked for an explanation on 3B and the definition of Block Grants. Planning Commission Minutes December 19, 1981 0 City Attorney, Hopson elaborated on Mr. Lam's explanation and discussion on those items contained within the Housing Element, stating that because these things are zontained does not mean that the Commission will adopt, during a specific time, density bonuses or an inclus3.onary zoning system. He indicated that the Commission would discuss the range of alternatives just as an EIR would be discussed, but that the Commission is not committed to adopt all of them. He indicated that the Commission could pick -nd choose between the programs that they feel will best meet the needs of the City. Commissioner Tolstoy stated that he would like to sec: a shopping list. Mr. Hopson explained that this is what was contained in the Housing Element. Commissioner Sceranka suggested that after the term affordable units and for clarification purposes, that an explanation be given in parentheses so that people would know what'the Commission is talking about. He state hu would like to see the definition after the term. Mr. Hogan asked if he was referring to specific pages like page 9, 11, etc. Mr. Rempel stated that he wasn't sure that was necessary. Mr.. Hogan stated that if that was the Commission's desire, that this could be done; however, he felt that it might be a good idea to ha-.e a glossary of terms. Commissioner Tolstoy stated that he felt that was an excellent idea because people sometimes misinterpret terms but if they knew how the Commission uses the plan and its terms these concerns would not be there. Commissioner Sceranka stated that when objectives are referred to they should be in the right order because that is what confused him. Mr. Lam asked if he wanted them to relate to policies and programs. Commissioner Sceranka stated that if that could be done it would be helpful. Chairman Dahl asked if the City was obligated to adopt the policies and programs or only to investigate and study. Mr. Lam stated that Mr. Dail was correct, that it was only necessary to investigate and study. Any programs that the Commission wished to recommend for adoption to the City Council would be debated at the time that the Commission wished to establish a program and their decision would be based on what they think would be best suited for Rancho Cucamonga. Mr. Hogan stated that those kinds of things are listed on. page 74, and in the back of the document there is an implementation section which zeros in on the kinds of things that are suggested they do. He further stated that the concentration of effort should be focused back there and are the kinds of things that staff would like direction on.

Meeting was called to order at 7:05 p.m. by Chairman Dahl., who led in the pledge of allegiance. ROLL CALL PRESEET: CO10aSSIONERS: Jeffrey ring, H -rman Rempel, Jeff Scerarka, Peter Tolstoy, Richard Dahl ABSENT: COMMISSIONERS: None STAFF PRESENT: Jack Lam, Director of Community Development; Barry K. Hogan, City Planner; Tim J. Beadle, Senior Planar; Edward A. Hopson, City Attorney; Steve McCutchan, Associate Planner; Ed Villenueva, Junior Planner; Paul Rougeau, Senior Civil Engineer; and Nancy McAllister, Secrete._y ANNOUNCEMENTS Chairman Dahl stated at the special General Plan meeting held last week, the Commission asked the staff to prepare a number of items for review, specifically Opici Winery, the Junior High desigt_ation and property at 4th and Archibald. ,Those were t� be discussed tonight; however, since tae Etiwanda area is being discussed, the issues above will be discussed at our regular meeting on January 28, 1981 at the Lions Park Community Center. Chairman Dahl stated for those people that would like to speak on community design and energy, those items will be continued to January 28, 1981, as we have just received the revisions and wish an opportunity to review them. REVIEW AND DISCUSSION OF GENERAL PLAN RECOMMENDATION FOR THE ETIWANDA AREA Jack Lam, Director of Community Development, reviewed the staff analysis as well as a slide presentation for the Etiwanda planning area. He recommended that the Planning, Commission review the General Plan objectives for the Etiwanda planning area and provide staff direction on any changes desired. l 0 r. Barry Hogan, City Planner, reviewed numerous requests for changes to the Land Use Plan for Planning Commission review and comment. Input will be necessary for preparation of recommendations which will be 'brought to the Planning Commission at the February 2, 1981 meeting. Chairman Dahl stated he would like to thank everyone.for coming this evening as we appreciate the input and interest. The General Plan will determine what will happen in our City for a long time to come and knowing that the public is interested in knowing what happens in their area of the community is extremely important. Chairman Dahl opened the public hearing at this time. Mr. John Vlasic, member of the Citizens Advisory Committee, stated the Committee has reviewed the staff recommended changes and the Committee endorses those changes and supports them wholeheartedly, particularly the idea of not making Victoria a continuous street. This will help retain a lot of the atmosphere they would like to keep in the Etiwanda area. In the core area, they would like to see nothing but low density, 2 -4 units per acre. They would recommend that commercial zoning be preserved for other areas either below thi: freeway or the north side of Highland Avenue. The Committee feels this would protect what they consider to be the rural character of the area. Discussion of using the community plan concept for the existing core area would be very supportive, and they would like to see a time element of when this can be done. Mr. Jim Banks, 13181 Victoria, Etiwanda, stated the property he would like to talk about is west of East Avenue, north of Base Line Avenue, north of a nursery on Base Line, and south of the railroad tracks. This area is presently planned for office and he would rather have it indicated as low density residential. One house to the acre would be fine. A large majority of the Etiwanda people would like to have light density residential in the Etiwanda area. They have been told that this is difficult becau:,e of State requirements; however he would challenge that. The State does have something to say about the spectruu of houses that we provide but they do not believe they have any say in the total number of houses that they prcvide in this community. He stated he is totally in support of the staff recommendations as made by Mr. Lam this evening. He is in complete agreement with the shift in density and lightening in density, but he does not think we have gone far enough. He stated the City should decide what the people want as far as housing and then tailor the industrial and commercial around the residential. Mr. Neil Westletorn, stated he would like to thank Mr. Wasserman, Mr. Lam and members of the Commission for being concerned about the concerns of the Etiwanda residents and their efforts to adjust the proposals that are planned in the Etiwanda area. As a result of all efforts, they have come up with some major concerns about the Victoria Plan and the general Etiwanda area. Some of their concerns have been addressed in the new recouanendations as explained by Mr. Lam this evening. In their various meetings, it was stated they would like to cut the proposed density of the Victoria plan by roughly 50 percent. Planning Commission Minutes -2- January 26, 1981 They would not like to connect Victoria with Etiwanda. They are in agreement with hiring a consultant for a study of the entire east end area, and to require more park and open space without trade -offs. The local residents should be able to decide-what they want for Etiwanda Avenue, they do not want to see multi - family residential adjacent to single family residential, and would like to control the quality of move -on houses. They would also like to express concern of keeping the central core of the Etiwanda area as low residential. Mr. R. Kleinman, stated he wishes to speak about the lance that immediately fronts the freeway, its westerly boundary being East Avenue, northerly Victoria Avem +e: easterly boundary 1 -15, and its southerly boundary Base Line. In recent months, the new high school has been. proposed across the street from the area he is referring to. East Avenue will be given Boulevard status on one side, the other side will be the high school and will adjoin the freeway. The present zoning is low density residential. He asked that the Planning Commission consider higher density residential and /or commercial to make it feasible for young people to have affordable housing. It is his opinion 2 -4 units per acre in this location would make the land not developable as nobody is going to spend money for a Souse which is immediately fronting the freeway, across from the high school, and which borders a proposed major boulevard. This is why he is asking for an increase in density for this particular parcel. Mrs. Marsha Banks, stated she has been attending Commission meetings for four. months. With the exception of Mr. Lam's presentation tonight, this Commission has shown a surprising lack of appreciation for the community of Etiwanda and surprising insensitivity to the views of its citizenry. For the record, she would like to indicate there has been a few people who have a lot of time invested in this community. Those that have the most invested and the most at stake in this community are those that have lived in this area for years and those are the people that the Commission should be listening to. We have a right as to what is going to happen ir. the area. Several people have pleaded with the Commission to preserve the rural atmosphere of the area. They don't want a manicured city. They do not have to escape their community on the weekends as they have everything they need right here. The school is the best school in the west end, as they have had the best scores and they are beating the entire area in performance. There is a reason for that. They do not want traffic lights, left turn lanes; or sidewalks. They don't need them. This community is something to be appreciated and preserved. The planned community should be modeled after them. They have a lot of style and do not feel the City has the right to take that lifestyle away from them. The City does not have a right to crowd their streets, schools and open spaces. Mr. Lam's proposal this evening is a step in tine right direction. Mr. Frank Harding, Etiwanda resident, stated he would offer his support to the proposal rude by Mr. Lam and the changes being made west of Etiwanda Avenue. This is a step in the right direction; however, :iris does not go far enough. The General Plan does not properly address itself to the problems of the community caused by high density. Planning Commission Minutes -3- January 26, 1981 The effects of high density and the result of population explosion will seriously affect one of the community's most valuable and precious assets - that '.s the children of the city. The Etiwanda schools are consistently rated as one of the best in the .State. That quali.t;• of education, is seriously threatened by high density proposals contained within the General Plan. Residential growth proposed would seriously impact the local school district, as double sessions Ere a very real and distinct probability. The idea of busing their students to schools outside of our city limits is a very unpopular item with the residents. The City staff and the Council may argue that the schools are out of their jurisdiction but to this he says they are wrong. The General Plan will have a tremendous influence on what happens to the children of their community. To reduce the density is the natural first step to be taken by our city le ^ders, the second most important step would be to revise goals and objectives on schools contained within the General Plan. The goals should be realistic. To the members of the Commission and any members of the Council that may be present, he would challenge them to keep the welfare of their children foremost in their thoughts when they males decisions concerning the f+iture of the city and especially Etiwanda. Mr. Ray Trujillo, stated he 'lives on East Avenue in Etiwanda. He is in agreement with Mr. Lam's proposal this evening as well as the statements presented by Mr. Vlasic, representing the Citizens Advisory Committee. He stated he has one further concern and that is the sociological factors and whether they have been considered when trying to compress so many people in certain areas of our community. Mr. Buster Filpi stated he would like to speak to property located on Foothill and Etiwanda, east of Church which has been for many years business. He would Like to see it remain commercial. Mr. Carl Schiro, stated he has owned property on Foothill Boulevard east of the Freeway for many years. This has been commercial; however, the proposed plan would change it to high density. He would likc this to remain commercial. Mr. Andrew Barmakian stated his request is for a neighborhood type shopping center at the northwest corner of Base Line and Etiwanda Avenue. This is a good location for neighborhood type shopping. It is a better location for that type of use than housing due to the traffic at this location. At the present time, the people in the area need to go a number of miles to do their shopping. As the community grows, the streets will be very heavily traveled because all the people will be shopping and going to Alta Loma for their groceries. It is necessary to have some neighborhood type shopping facilities in the Etiwanda area. Base Line and Etiwanda Avenues are heavier traffic areas today, and would be a better location than trying to place it internally within the residential sites. It is his intention that if a center is proposed at this location that the strictest requirements be placed on him to create the best kind of landscaped neighborhood center. Planning Commission Minutes -4- January 26, 1981 Alice Flocker stated the property that she is concerned about is located on the east side of Etiwanda Avenue just south of the railroad tracks. The property is five acres in size and presently zoned commercial. They have owned the property for at least 25 years and boug',.t the property for a commercial zoning designation. They are hoping that it will remain commercial. The people of Etiwanda have not had any shopping areas since the General Store burned - everal years ago. This is not a good location for residential property because of the railroad tracks to the north, across the street is a real estate office, and north of that the lumber yard. They are not against low density for the Etiwanda area and they respect the wishes of the people who live in the area to keep it low density. At the same time, it is unrealistic that Etiwanda will not grow in tae future, as we all know it will, and it is unrealistic to think that Etiwanda Avenue is going to remain a rural street. 8:20 p.m. The Planning Commission recessed. 8:35 p.m. The Planning Commission reconvened. Mr. David Flocker, stated he lives on East Avenue, south of Highland. He basically supports the General Plan because without a careful plan, it is very possible that an area like Etiwanda will end up being another Fontana. The fact i, that Etiwanda is changing. As an example, the new high school that will be built very shortly is going to bring changes in traffic patterns, and more problems on the streets. Everyone may like the narrcw streets but we might not like those streets when we have increased traffic from the high school Positive definite plans need to be set. The General Plan is a very workable plan and it will allow for irte;ligent decisions of how Etiwanda will develop. It is his opinion that if there Is not a central commercial center, Etiwanda will lose its identity- In the future people will continue to question where is Etiwanda until ti -ally there will be no Etiwanda except in the history books which will be gradually changed and will be forgotten. We do need to keep the central core, it should be kept very small but needs to be there so that Etiwanda has some identity. Mrs. Pat Gearhart stated it has been overheard that the people'in Etiwanda can't get together as to what they want for the area. From what she has heard tonight the people can get together and can let the Commission know what they want. She was selected to canvass Etiwanda Avenue and find out what the people owning property along that street wanted. A number of residents have been in Etiwanda for at least a hundred years. She visited 21 homes and of those, 16 were home. Everyone realizes that Etiwanda is changing and it is known there will be a lot more changes but they want Etiwanda Avenue to stay the way it is for as long as possible. They want to stay low density residential with some commercial zoning in certain areas. They do want some type of identity and some type of shopping center, but they do feel we are going to have to continue to adjust traffic flow away from the core of the City and away from Etiwanda Avenue. 1 proposed shopping center could be located near. the Foothill Freeoay and Highland. She can understand some of the requests for commercial development by the older residents as they really care about what happens to Etiwanda. Absentee landlords could care less about what happens to Etiwanda as long as they make their money. Planning Commission Minutes -5- January 26, 1981 Don DeVerka stated he would like to talk about property on the northeast corner of Foothill and Rochester. This property is shown as commercial and they would like to downgrade this for affordable housing, preferably a condo arrangement. By allowing 25 to 30 units per ac-A:,--.they-can meet the need of affordable housing in this community. Justification for this proposal is the close proximity of the regional center, and the Foothill Boulevard corridor. Tim Kelly, 722 East Avenue, stated one of the reasons they bought their house was the rural. nature of the community. He stated he is completely in agreement with what Marsha Banks said and wanted to thank her for saying it. Mr. Richard Reeder, stated he would like to address a problem that he has seen on the executive summary of the General Plan. There is an elementary school shown adjacent to a junior high school site. It is general knowledge that when a jun.icr high is next to an elementary school, the junior high kids might have an undesirable effect on the elementary school kids. He would like to question the wisdom of putting the schools next to each other. He is also in agreement that the density be %ept as low as possible in the Etiwanda area. Mr. Dave Swaithes, stated he owns property on Base Line and Etiwanda that was the old water company building in 1937. He has been told that regardless of what happens to the zoning his use will be grandfathered. If the property remains commercial, if he were to sell his property would it still remain commercial? Mr. Lam stated if property is currently zoned for commercial and is a presently existing use, no matter what changes are made to the General Plan or zoning the commercial use could continue. The use could still continue even if the property is sold, but if the use should be discontinued, the General Plan would then be followed. Mr. Swaithes asked if the City has talked to the City of Fontana and what their master plan shows for the area. Mr. Lam stated the City has taken a look at the Fontana Master Plan; however at the present time, they are undergoing a complete revision of their plan. Mr. David Long stated when he moved here 14 years ago he could walk across Etiwanda Avenue and go quail hunting or dove hunting up near Summit Avenue. He tried to go hunting last fall and the Sheriff informed him he could not do that any longer. He had to go across Summit Avenue. flow much do the people that live here have to give up for progress? Changes are going to come and we know it to a certain degree but he is more concerned about people that will come here than the people that now live here. People talk about low income housing so that people can afford to live here. He wishes they would be half as concerned about_ his feelings and lifestyle as they are about those that are going to move into the area. Planning Commission Minutes -6- January 26, 1981 1�l E Mr. R. Lawrence, stated he has lived here for some 18 years. He owns property on East Avenue north of the railroad tracks. He has now moved to northern California and builds affordable homes. That to him is the future of this country. He would request that residential zoning, 5 to 14 units per acre, be allowed for his property as this is necessary for affordable housing. The frontage of the property along East Avenue is very limited and there would only be a few things that could be done with the property. With the railroad track in the area, it would not be a good location for low density residential. Mr. Jerry Bedlau, stated he is President of the local School Board. He stated they have a very fine school system and they would like to keep it that way. To date nobody has talked to them about anything and have not approached them with any plan for the Etiwanda area. Mandatory criteria in this district has to be met and set up by the City Council. The first criteria is the proposed project must be consistent with. the General Plan. The second criteria is the applicant must submit to the Community Development Director written certification from all affected elementary, and high school districts that they will be capable of accommodating students generated by the proposed project. The Master Plan that they received in the mail shows designated areas for schools. The -- school district does not own any of the property shown for schools at this time, and the school district has not necessarily agreed those are sites that will be proposed or where schools will be. The District will not approve any development until there is an open door for students to come in, as their main interest is the children. As long as he is on the school board he will do his utmost to keep schools from becoming double sessions and overcrowded. It has been mentioned that there is State funding for the construction of schools. That is true, but the schools have to be overcrowded and show the facts before the money is available. They hope that they can work with the Commission whereas not one child will have to go on double sessions. Mr. Tompkins stated he would like to address the issue of the specific plan. He stated it was asked earlier how much the people. of Etiwauda have to give up, which is a very good question. He has found when you make decisions it is very hard to deride sometimes what is right and what is wrong. The problem with the General Plan level of discussion, many times the degree to which you can actually discuss the issues isn't sufficient enough to really be able to know the end product. Sometimes density helps you if it is in the right location and if it is dealt with properly. Landscaping, the way the houses are put together, and certainly the economics can show that density can be really advantageous. The Specific Plan that the staff has proposed is extremely important and he would support that concept. The Specific Plan will tell you in much more detail that you will get what you think you are getting. There would be a lot of different land uses i.f everyone got exactly what they proposed and we would not have the environment that you would want. We should deal with quality and carry that approach. to as great a degree as you need so that you not only have the right number of people but also have the environment that you can enjoy. Planning Commission Minutes —7— January 26, 1981 Mr. Gary Frye stated he represents the William Lyon Company and the Victoria Plan. It appears from what he has heard that there is general agreement that Victoria Avenue should not continue through to Etiwanda Avenue, and they would not have any problcm with that desire. They would also agree that a specific plan should be done. His company has spent a lot of time and expense on the property west of Etiwanda Avenue to critique a good plan for orderly development to accommodate the needs of the people moving in the area and at the same time by proposing a north /south street and removing the interchange d"signation from Etiwanda Avenue. He stated he represents people that do not own a home and development that is well planned and well thought out can be a benefit to the existing residences as well as to people who r n't own a home. One of the greatest social problems that this country is going to have in the next ten years is that fact that a great number of people will not be able to afford a home. If you did not own a home over the last seven years, many have found they were priced out of the market because their incomes are not rising at the same rate as prices of homes. Everyone has to accept the fact that Etiwanda is going to change. He doesn't feel by cutting density makes a general plan good because it has to meet the needs of the people. Quality is the key. Density properly handled located and planned is the key to quality, the key to meeting the city's need for a high image and will supply home ownership for the new generation that doesn't own a home now. Sandra Barrett, stated she lives on Etiwanda Avenue and is concerned about commercial property and shopping centers being developed on Base Line and Etiwanda Avenue so close to the school. She asked that the Commission consider leaving Etiwanda Avenue residential for the schools and the residents. Mr. Joe DiIorio, stated he has been involved with.the General Plan for this city since before the City incorporated. He would like to speak to the issue of balance in the General Plan. He stated this city is the second largest metropolitan region in the country. He realizes that people that have been mere a long time can remember the days when the area was rural. Much work has been done in the industrial area. There has been law suits because of imbalance. It is true the regional shopping center will have an effect on the city which will hopefully be beneficial. It may be the one thing that keeps our city solvent. The staff recommendation relating to a specific plan for Etiwanda and the area to the north of Etiwanda is an opportunity. We have tr� hone in on some of the details that are needed and an opportunity to really go into detail on what the character will be. Mr. James Thompson stated he represents the portion of land that is located east of the windrow area, west of the flood control.channel and also connects with the proposed area for the high school to the east of the windrow area, west of the flood control channel and also connects with the proposed area for the high school to the east of East Avenue. It is his opinion this property could have some commercial zoning for shopping center or community type commercial unit3 that could be serviceable to a community. He also asked that the Commission consider medium density on the remaining land. Planning Commission Minutes _8_ January 26, 1981 0 Mr. Harry Arsinage stated he has owned land in Etiwanda for about air. ' years. He will not disagree that some of the land should be reserved for low density purposes. He also does not disagree with some of those that would like to have commercial zoning. He believes some of our major arteries such a Foothill, Etiwanda, Base Line and Highland should allow commercial 2C., years from now but be left residential until then. He believes that high density should be behind the commercial properties on the major arteries and then have lower density properties behind that. He thanked the Commission for coming here and getting feedback from the people. 9:50 p.m. The Planning Commission recessed. 10:00 p.m. The Planning Commission reconvened. Chairman Dahl closed the public hearing. Chairman Dahl asked that each Commission member give an indication as to what they feel at this time; however specific recommendation will be made at the next meeting. Commissioner Sceranka stated he agrees with the staff recommendation for -- the modification of Victoria from Day Creek to Etiwanda Avenue going south. This will restrict traffic flow into Etiwanda area. He would agree mere buffering is needed between the proposed specific plan and the Etiwanda area and agrees with the shift of density, so he would endorse the modification as proposed by staff. Moving the park designation to the west side of Rochester, lie agrees with and he also agrees with the modification of the density adjacent to Rochester, as it will provide for a better buffer. The County and the Foothill Specific Plan, he totally endorses and hopes the County will move ahead with that plan. This will have more of an impact on the rural character of the area than anything else. The Specific Plan for Etiwanda is an absolute necessity. Generally speaking, it is important for the community to maintain its character as much as possible, if that 1.9 what the people want. There will not be much the citizens of this area can do from letting people wane to develop here but he looks at his role as a member of the Commission as trying to find the best balance with the pressures for growth and providing the opportunity for our children to buy a home in an area and environment we were raised. A half acre lot is not feasible for everyone and we will have Lo have increased density. The city is large enough to handle increased density without putting all of it in one spot. As far as he is concerned, it is important to have equestrian uses north of Banyan and important to maintain low density in the northeastern part of our City. He endorses low density as an overall pattern of development in Etiwanda. It is important if we are going to have low density predominate - any particular part of the community to allow within that part of the community, density where it is appropriate to take the pressure off of growth and development in the future. He can't guarantee who will be on the Commission and Council in the future but it is his goal as l+ Commissioner to provide the best options for development in the city and provide the best location for commercial, industrial and residential growth. The area along Etiwanda Avenue is not appropriate for commercial at this Planning Commission Minutes -9- January 26, 1981 particular point in time. He will not preclude the judgement of any specific plan for the Etiwanda community but at this particular point in time, the facts lead to the conclusion that Etiwanda Avenue is one of the major characteristic points and it has to be preserved. He does not see how Etiwanda Avenue can be preserved by allowing commercial development where proposed currently. The areas proposed for commercial along the north side of Foothill, east of the Devore Freeway he is in agreement with. He would like to see staff come back with some specific recommendations on that particular property. One of his major disagreements with the General Plan as it is now structured is commercial along the Devore Freeway and Base Line. It is his feeling in minimizing traffic impact in Etiwanda and minimizing congestion of traffic in the city, that is the worst place for neighborhood commercial for the community. The only place that he feels comfortable with a commercial designation prior to the specific plan being reviewed would be the area along P_ighland and East Avenue. He would like the rural character of Etiwanda Avenue to be maintained. He cotall.y "agrees that the school district should not allow the problem to get to the point of children being bused to other schools before building new schools. He is in support with the city not going ahead with allowing growth unless we have service facilities to handle growth. We need to find a realistic way of providing services. The City needs to face the problem of Proposition 13 as the city does not have the funds available to provide for maintenance of xistiug services much less provide for the needed improvements with growth. That is the biggest problem that Rancho Cucamonga is going to face -- how to provide money to keep the existing city going as well as to provide the balancedgrowth that will protect our lifestyle. Commissioner Tolstoy stated he is in agreement with the Etiwanda planning area as outlined by staff. One of the things that we need to do is pursue a specific plan for Etiwanda. There is also the large area that the County needs to plan in order that our city and that plan are in concert with one another. He wonders whether the County will be that sensitive to understand that at this point. He is in support of the two -pecific plans. He is in support of the Etiwanda planning area. As far as commercial, he has to agree with Commissioner Sceranka and could not support commercial along Etiwanda Avenue. Etiwanda needs a community identity. One way to do this is to create a focal point dnd one way to do this is where you shop. He would propose a shopptiig area that would be central to everyone to keep traffic down. He would agree with Commissioner Sceranka that the area around East Avenue would be the place for the core for identity this community needs. If everyone was to get commercial that wants it we would have a checkerboard of commercial. As far as density goes, he believes the Etiwanda area should be low density. The staff recommendation for the buffeting between the Etiwanda planning area and the Planned Community proposed is a good one. We will need to be very careful about what goes on in the northern area of the city. It is designated an equestrian area and we need to pay attention to that use, equestrian and hiking trails are very important. Planning Commission Minutes -10- January 26, 1981 5 0 Commissioner King stated the role of the Planning Commission is to basically achieve a well balanced community from a land use standpoint. The way to achieve a well.balauced community is by getting a good spread of different socio- economic groups being represented. The General Plan which presently exists, needs more acreage in low density residential. It is his feeling more of the central core area can be very low residential of 1 to 2 acres. This would also have the tendency to affect the traffic flow on Etiwanda Avenue to insure that it can maintain its present quality. Also, in order to aiahieve a well rounded community it is necessary that we have density. In order to provide a house that can be delivered to somebody in the $65,000 and $75,000 range we would have to deal with at least ten units per acre. We should make every effort that we can to deliver that type of housing. Good buffering from a lower residential land use to a higher residential is needed to provide affordable units and achieve a well rounded community in terms of socio- economics. He doesn't particularly care for the commercial where shown. The commercial center may be appropriate in the Highland Avenue area. He is not sure that after full development of the hillside area that perhaps we will need more than one commercial but this should be more toward the Highland area. In regard to Etiwanda Avenue, with proper land use along th "t street and appropriate configuration of the street it can stay in its present state; however, to insure that, the density in the downtown Etiwanda area should be changed to very low residential. Commercial should be on Foothill Boulevard, west of Etiwanda Avenue. Foothill Boulevard is going to be a major artery. He is in support of the specific plan for Etiwanda; however, he does have a few problems. It is necessary in his opinion to have a specific plan in order to properly plan the Etiwanda area. Commissioner Rempel stated he would agree generally with what has been said about the Etiwanda areas as far as changes proposed by staff. The Specific Plan is necessary. As far as the commercial, he would tend to disagree with the Commission as far as moving the commercial up to areas where there is no development whatsoever yet. Let's get it down where it can be of use to the community that is there, possibly on Foothill or Base Line. That is also the area that is going to be fairly heavily traveled. Iie believes there is a problem in the area with trying to get the density so low that we destroy the right of individuals to have property and to have that property within his means. The density in certain areas has to increase. He is not saying that this should be done in the area east of Etiwanda Avenue, in fact, he feels it should not be there, but in the area to the west because of the type of land that it is and the winds in the area. It is not the best area for large lots but an area that fairly high density can be best adapted. It is his opinion the staff is trying to work with the community of Etiwanda and the City as a whole. As we develop and if we work together to develop a city that will fit the housing needs of the total population not only 'zat is here now but what is here 50 years from now. We have to realize sere is more to planning of communities then to looking at what "I have ". Planning Commission Minutes -11- January 26, 1981 Chairman Dahl stated first of all he would like to thank everyone for attending this hearing. We now, as a City, have an opportunity not to allow uncontrolled development to take place. Etiwanda is a beautiful community and the rural atmosphere can be preserved. With positive thinking, with public input and public support for the officials of the City to move ahead, what will happen will. be as you want it to be. One of the smartest things our city did was come up with a growth managment plan which requires a letter from the school district. He endorses what the Planning Staff has done. The staff, working through a committee in Etiwanda, has decreased the overall density by 1,200 units. The turning away of Victoria Street from going through the community of Etiwanda is very important and highly significant in terms of impact. He endorses the maintaining of Etiwanda Avenue as it is. He enjoys traveling up that street and the character should be preserved. He would agree with the gentlemen who spoke to the issue of a junior high school across from an elementary school. The staff will look at this as he is sure the Etiwanda School District will look at it to determine where the school should be placed. He is also for the specific plan designation for Etiwanda as it is necessary to determine what is going to happen in this community. He believes we need a lower density area, an area that is rural in character. and he believes we have this here. He doesn't believe necessarily that we want to have everything in all of Etiwanda 2 or less units per acre but he wants to retain in most areas 4 per acre. The two individuals that spoke regarding the northwest section of Foothill and Etiwanda which has been commercial for a number of years, he would feel this is the highest and best- use for that area. In terms of the shopping center, he does not want to make a commitment or statement concerning that at this time. He does know the area needs a center within the confines of the Etiwanda area as a focal point for community identity; however he would rather -tit to address that when we have a specific plan. Mr.. Banks stated it is his opinion that most of the people appreciate what the Commission has said and the input that you have given us. We all feel a lot more comfortable about what has been said. Chairman Dahl stated all of this could not have happened bad the people not been vocal and come forward to let us. know that you waned a different type of planning for the area. Motion: Moved by Sceranka, seconded by King, carried unanimously to adjourn the meeting. 10:10 p.m. The Planning Commission adjourned.

Hogan, City Planner BY: Michael Vairin, Senior Planner SUBJECT: CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 81 -01 - A change in color scheme for the previously approved K -•Mart Department store to be located on the northeast corner of Arrow and Haven Daon Corporation has submitted a revised color scheme for the develop - ment-of a K -Mart facility which was previously approved.by the Planning Commission. The approved color scheme was originally shown in a series of blue shades. Upon further research of these colors by the developer, it was found that these colors were not the best colors for maintenance and weather proofing. Therefore, the developer has submitted a new color scheme in shades of brown which the Design Review Committee has reviewed and is recommending approval. The materials board and the revised delineation, of the store, is available in the Planning Office for your review prior tothe meeting and will be available for your review at the meeting. RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the Planning Commission review and consider the color change proposed by the developer and approve said color change should the Commission feel that this change is con- sistent with the style of design proposed.

The development of this site will entail the recon- struction of the intersection of San Bernardino Rodd and Foothill Boule- vard. The building has been designed to emphasize the character of the Bear Gulch area as exemplified by the Sycamore Inn (Exhibit "E "). Recom- mended conditions of approval are attached for your consideration. BACKGROUND: The applicant isrequesting review and approval for the development of a 15,600 sq. ft. two -story professional office building on 1.93 acres of land. The project site is located on the south side of Foothill Boulevard at San Bernardino Road, directly across the street from the Sycamore Inn (Exhibit "A "). The site presently contains Bear Gulch Realtors building, and the remainder of the site is a vacant field. The site is bounded on the west and east by vacant lands, with the ex- ception of a small single family residence on the property to the west, Foothill Boulevard on the north, and railroad tracks to the south. The front portion of the,site slopes from the north to the south at a 4% grade, the middle portion of the site is relatively flat at a 1% grade, and the south portion of the site slopes at approximately a 3% grade, as indicated on Exhibit "F'. The property is presently zoned C -2 (General Business Commercial), and the Interim and Proposed General Plans desig- nate this site for commercial uses. ANALYSIS: The site development plan, Exhibit "B ", has been developed in accordance with Zoning Ordinance standards and requirements. Building setbacks, parking areas, and lardscaped areas are all being provided in accordance with standards and policies set by the Planning Commission. Foothill Boulevard is a Special Poulevard on the General Plan and the applicant has proposed to landscaoe it accordingly. The intersection of San Bernardino Road and Foothill Boulevard will be redesigned to eliminate the existing single lane transition from San Bernardino into Foothill Boulevard beyond the traffic signal. San Bernardino Road will be curved ITEM D DR 81 -06 -2- April 8, 1981 Staff Report up to join the signalized intersection and access to the project site will be from a single private drive off of San Bernardino Road across the front of the property. The redesign of San Bernardino Road will necessitate the reconstruction of a portion of San Bernardino Road and Foothill Boulevard, and full street improvements will be required. The development plans as proposed will require a total of 78 parking spaces, 82 parking spaces being provided and one loading space. A detailed hydrology Study has been prepared to analyze the drai,)',,- of the project onto adjacent properties. The Hydrology Study ,ia�; ueen reviewed end determined satisfactory by the City Engineer. Appropriate improvements will be required to handle any increased flows. The elevations, as shown on Exhibit "D ", indicate the use of light brown exposed aggregate concrete, redwood fascia, dark brown wood trims, stucco, and solar bronze glass with anodized aluminum frames. The ap- plicant has indicated that additional redwood screens as indicated on the elevations will be provided to adequately screen any roof mounted equipment. Details of this screening will be critically reviewed by Staff to insure that the screening is totally compatible to the building design. The illustrative site plan, Exhibit "C ", indicates that an abundance of landscaping will be provided for the project. Colored elevations, renderings, and building material samples will be available at the Planning Commissio- meeting. The Design Review Committee has reviewed the prcject and is recommending approval of the design with emphasis being given to landscaping throughout the site, particularly the parkway landscaping. The Committee also recommended that the character of the surrounding area, commonly known as the Bear Gulch area, could be accented by providing a dry stream bed in the parkway landscape design. , Part I c` the Initial Study as completed by the applicant is provided for your review and consideration. Staff has completed Part II of the Environmental Assessment and determined that although the project could have a significant adverse impact on the environment from off - site drainage, adequate mitigation measures have been proposed to eliminate any significant adverse impact. If the Commission concurs with such findings, then the issuance of a Negative Declaration would be in order.

Hubbs, City Engineer SUBJECT: Sidewalk Resolution 1977 At its March 11 meeting, the Commission directed that a policy on the placement of sidewalks on streets built as a part of land development be prepared. The attached draft resolution is presented for your consideration as such a policy. The placement proposed in the resolution is based on past decisions by the Commission. To encourage non -auto travel to and from work, sidewalks may be desirable on some industrial local streets. Please note that the "collector" category does not apply in industrial areas. Regarding local streets in residential areas, only density has been considered, not street length, since auto use is fairly heavy even on short streets in small - lot areas. Also, smaller yards withaut sidewalks usually result in a sloppy, unkempt appearance and leave little paved area for children to use. The Circu- lation Plan in the proposed General Plan shows the location of all existing "collector" and larger streets in the City. RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the Commission discuss the draft resolu- tion and adopt it, amended if necessary, as future sidewalk policy.

A RESOLUTION' OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA REGARDING THE PLACEMENT OF SIDEWALKS ALONG PUBLIC STREETS WITHIN THE CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA. WHEREAS, street improvements in conjunction with land development have, by ordinance, been found necessary for the safety and general welfare of the citizens of the City; and WHEREAS, to provide for the safe movement of pedestrians, sidewalks should be included in such improvements; and WHEREAS, a firm policy is needed to determine the placement of sidewalks, NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that sidewalks, when constructed as a part of new development, are required as follows: 1. On Special Boulevards: Both sides,all areas. 2. On Major and Secondary Arterials: Both sides, all areas. 3. On Collector Streets: Both sides in residential and commercial areas. 4. Local Streets: Both sides in residential areas with a density of 2 or more units per acre. One side in residential areas with a density of less than 2 units per acre. One or both sides in industrial areas as needed to facilitate the use of transit or car pooling. The Planning Commission may require additional sidewalks if it finds them justified by such needs as safe routes to school, mass transit access or others.

Hogan, City Planner BY: Michael Vairin, Senior Planner SUBJECT: A REQUEST FOR WAIVER OF A _C installation of a temporary trail on Tract No. 10491 located on the Victoria and Ramona Avenue. ONAL USE PERMIT for the er for residential sales southwest corner of 1977 ABSTRACT: INCU Development Corporation has requested that the Planning Commission waive the policy for requiring a Conditional Use Permit for the use of trailers for temporary residential sales offices. Staff has reviewed the request and feels if the Commission is desirous to waive the review process that we could provide the necessary review to assure adequate parking and improvements will be provided for safe usage of the temporary sales office. This report recommends that the Planning Com- mission consider the policy of requiring Conditional Use Permits for use of temporary trailers for residential sales offices,and if they find that the review process suggested by the Staff is appropriate, then the policy should be modified. BACKGROUND: In December of 1979, the Planning Commission made the determination that the use of a trailer as a temporary residential sales office was a permitted use subject to the approval of a Conditional Use Permit. Since that time we have only had one request for a trailer which was processed and approved. However, the developer did not utilize his approval for the trailer and instead located the sales office in a model home complex. During the review of that request the Planning Commission required that certain off -site and on -site improvements occur for pre - sales activities. Those improvements included such things as on -site parking, safe ingress and engress through offsite improvements such as compacted ;iggrigate subbase in the street where access will be taken, save curbs and gutters,and some landscaping. Tne biggest concern in locating a trailer, at this time, for pre -sales activities, is the fact that customers will be brought onto a site which is presently under con- struction. If appropriate improvements and safeguards are not taken, the customers may be subjected to undue hazards. The developer of Tract No. 10491 has submitted a letter, which is attached for your reivew, requesting that the Conditional Use Permit process be waived in lieu of Staff review. Under the Zoning Ordinance, review of temporary sales office for resi- dential projects is subject to Staff review and approval and a condition of a cash deposit to ensure removal and restoration of site and /or structure. If the Planning Commission is comfortable with the Staff reviewing said application, that the Planning Commission could defer ITEM F AMk CUP Waiver _Z- April 8, 1981 Staff Report review of the trailer to Staff under the ncemal review process. How- ever, Staff would seek Commissions guidance as to the type of improve- ments the Commission would feel appropriate for pre -sales activities. The developer has not yet, at this time, provided any detailed imfor- mation relative to the placement of the trailer or extent of improve- ments proposed for parking or offsite improvements. Since the Commission has concerns relative to the use of trailers as temporary sales offices, on option may be for the Commission to consider the development of standards for the regulation and placement of such trailers, in lieu of the C.U.P. process, which Staff could use in their review of such a request. RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the Planning Commission provide Staff guidance relative to this policy and decide whether or not the concerns can be resolved without requiring a C.U.P. If the Commission feels the Conditional Use Permit process is not necessary, is tlen it is recommended that the Commission direct Staff to prepare a RE;olution setting forth standards for placement of trailers in such developments.

AM Pill Reference: Temporary Sales Offices - New Home Developments Gentlemen: Existing ordinances require that all new home developments desiring a temporary sales office go through the conditional use permit process, including the payment of significant fees, a public hearing, and being subject to additional requirements that may be imposed. The time and costs involved are onerous, particularly in smaller develop- ments. We understand that the city would like to be certain that the temporary sales facility be attractive, and be in fact, temporary. We typically rent office type trailers (that are attractive) and we provide stairways and landings which are wide and safe. We would not object to a requirement that we move our sales facilities into one of the new homes upon receipt of final inspection and utility hook -up. Our sales facilities will certainly be more attractive than temporary construction - offices, therefore, it is unreasonable for the city to impose' any additional requirements. We must avoid additional costs that do not add to the value of the new home. Please consider this as our request for relief in this matter. Very truly yours, INCO DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION C.

Hagan, City Planner BY: Dan Coleman, Assistant Planner SUBJECT: CABLE T.V. INTRODUCTION: Recently, in conjunction with the approval of tentative tract maps, questions have been raised concerning cable television. - What areas of Rancho Cucamonga already have Cable T.V.? - Who is responsible for installing a cable system, and who pays for the installation? - What is Cable T.V.? - Do we need it in Rancho Cucamonga? - If Cable T.V. is desirable, should the Planning Commission require developers to install cable as a condition of ap- proval on a subdivision? This background tmaterialsnecessaryltoianswernthe e aquestions, and provides WHAT IS!CABBE T.V:? Cable television began on a modest scale in the late 1940's as a means of delivering television signals to areas unable to receive over - the -air T.V. channels because they were too far from the trans- mitters or obstructed by mountains. By installing an antenna on too of the mountain or closer to the transmitter, a stronger signal could be sent via cable to the home television set. Thus, in its early days, cable was primarily a way of improving reception. Advances in the state -of -the -art have created a billion dollar a year cable tele- visioa industry. With the advent of satellite programming, dish an- tennas can now pick lap and relay signals From satellites, making it possible to offer a wide spectrum of entertainment choices for the T.V. viewer. There are two kinds of cable T.V. hookups: Basic Cable: A consumer pays an installation charge and a monthly fee to have his T.V. set hooked up to cable. This enables the viewer to watch all twelve VHF channels, including some out -of -the -area stations, and possibly more UHF channels. Basic cable is used primarily by the consumer for better reception. ITEM G ;1I,, April 8, 1981 Cable T.V, Page Two Pay Cable:. For extra monthly charges the consumer can purchase premium services, such as Home Box Office, Show - time, or "Z" channel. Any such service that a subscriber ic%-1 tii�iiy'1 G56ie i5 GunJlQereO pay Cable. What the consumer really pays for is a "convertor box" for the television set that enables it to receive additional chan- nels. Pay cable systems, which can bring up to 64 channels, typically offer uncut movies, 24 -hour sports channels, Con- gressional coverage, religious channels, children's and adult programming, Spanish- speaking channels, and in some areas, even local city council meetings. Cable television faces competition from other non -cable pay -T.V. services: Subscription Television: The consumer pays the usual in- stallation charge and monthly fee in return for a "decoder box" that decodes or unscra,abies a transmission for r_cep- tion on the television set. In Southern California, the two largest subscription television (STV) operators, ON ;V and SELECT -TV, offer movies and sports. As a non -cable system, STV offers only one channel and television reception is slot improved. Multipoint Distribution Service: A television transmission is delivered, via microwaves, to a home dish antenna con- nected to the TV set. The consumer pays an installation charge and monthly fee to lease the antenna. The problem with multipoint distribution service (MDS) is a limited range of 25 miles and it requires the receiving antenna to be in the line of sight of the transmitter. Satellite Television: Potentially cable T.V.'s biggest competitor is direct satellite to home transmission. In this case each house would have its own dish antenna capable of receiving as many signals as the satellite can beam, thus making each home a private cable systram. Home Box Office customers can pay $125 for an antenna unit to receive HBO's satellite programming in areas without cable. April 8, 1981 Cable T.Y. Page Three The programming possibilities for cable television are virtually in- finite, depending only upon what the consumer is willing to p&y for. The list below, from Theta Cable T.V.,is an example of the wide va- riety of programming currently available to the cable T.V. consumer.

Like a public utility, cable companies can only do business if they are awarded a franchise from the local governing body. The San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors awarded non - exclusive franchises to four cable T.V. operators for the Rancho Cucamonga area prior to incorporation. These franchises do not specify levels of service or define service areas. Vii;' Cable T.V. April 8, 1981 Page Four One franchise holder, Six -Star Cablevision presently does not provide service i„ tea City. Tile uidest caole company in Rancho Cucamonga, Visual Enterprises Venture, laid cable twelve years ago in Alta Loma. Visuals' 700 subscribers receive all VHF and UHF chann ^ls plus Home Box Office (movies and sports). Cable T.V. of Alta Loma has 1,985 subscribers and offers 17 channels and "Z" channel (movies). In the Cucamonga area, Theta Cable T.V. offers its 800 customers 27 channels, Z channel (Theta Motion Pictures), aid Shewtime (movies, Las Vegas and Broadway specials).

Tbat's why Channel 2 may come in "pi;cture. perfect" on your T,V, set, wh-ile Channel 13 reception is weak and "snowy ". To resolve this problem, cable operators place amplifiers in the cable every 1 to 2 thousand feet to maintain the strength.or "integrity" of the.signail; There- fore, in a cable system, the television set receives, all channels at virtually the some optimum signal strength.. All cable systems start wi,tfk a "he d -in" station that consists cr a seoarate T.V. antenna for each channel. The function of the.heod- in station is to rper_ive and ampWy each channel for distribution to the home.. Thosz cable systems 'eaturing satellite programming also have an "earth" or "ground" station with a large dish antenna to receive satellite transmissions ffom these receiving Stations the T.V. signal is sent to a commui.ity via a main trunk cable, Ge- nerally speaY,ing, trunk cable is at overhead line hung on the same poles as telephone and electric tires; this is known as an aer.al plant. Smaller cable, known as distribution or feeder line, branches off from the trunk and delivers the televi.sir•n signal to edch_tract, The State Subdivision hlap Act requi, °es all utilities to be installed underground in new subdivisions. �hxs, means that cable companies are unable t(, use an aerial plant f)r their feeder lines, and must lay their distribution lines up each street in the same trench with the uti.lttie.s. There are two kinds of underground plant for cable television: direct - buried and dry -line Cconduitj, The direct - buried system uses "armored" cable ghat has a protective layer of corrugated metal. This type of cable its laid directly into the. trench, in a bed of sand. A dry -lire system means that cable is run through PVC plastic conduit for protection. Both types of .under- ground plant use "flooded and jacketsd" cable that is treated with.a special water proofing compound_. A device called a tap is used to comiect the lateral "drop" cable to the house with the distrubitun Itke in the street, Each tap is enclosed in a concrete or plastic Ya0 t called a tap boy, which normally occurs every four homes. Sometimes an above - ground pedestal enclosure is used for a tap, usually in the backyard. Each home, in turn, is "wired" with wall outlets fcr the cable, similar to a phone Cable T.V.

If the consumer has pay cable service, with a converter, then the ca')le goes through the converter to the T.V. INSTALLATION COSTS Because of the high cost o;' installing cable infrastructure, it is estimated that for the next 10 years, the cable T.V. industry will need $14 billion in capital to build rew systems and rebuild old ones. T` high cost is attributed to the large number of cost va- riables avolved; such as, the type of plant, when the cable is installed (during or after completion of a tract), soil type, and the number of street intersection. crossings. All of these factors can significantly affect the cost of laying cable and any figures used herein should Li interpreted with this in mind. The most important financial consideration to a cable company, in terms of installing cable, is when the cable is laid. Normally, cable is laid in the same trench with utilities during construction. This saves the cable company the cost of trenching, which can range from $5,000 a mile in good soil to $11,OOL a mile in the rocky soil of Alta Loma. The price for laying underground cable is about $1.2,000 a mile for dry -line and $8,000 a mile for direct - buried. Theta Cable T.V. uses a dry -line system for their installation; citing t',e high maintenance costs associated with direct - buried cable as the reason for using conduit. Cable laid using the direzt- buried system, a':,:iough it has a protective casing, is susceptible to damage from rocks that can dent the cable. Repair of direct - buried cable requires excavation to e?tpose the cable for repair; hence, the added cost of trenching, backfilling, and repairing. In a dry -line system, "pull boxes" are spaced along the conduit with a rope inside that is used to pull cable free of the conduit for repairs. Cable T.V. of Alta Loma and Visual Enterprises Venture prefer a direct - buried system because of the lower capital outlay for :nsta.- lation. Because of the high cost of laying cable, cable operators are very concerned with the "3at: ration factor ". the percentage of homes in an area that subscribe to cable. Most cable companies will only provide 11 Pane Seven cable service in areas where they can expect a 40 -50 percent sub- scription rate. "It takes a 33 -35 percent subscription rate just to break even," according to Don Canfield of Theta Cable T.V. Cable T.V. is a hiah -risk business; accordingly, cable companies expect a 19 to 20 percent return on their investment. Cable T.V. of Alta Loma estimates that theywust :each or "expose" fifty homes per mile of plant (at a 50% saturation factor) to make a reasonable profit. Therefore, cable companies will not run underground cable to a new area just to expose a small tract of LO or 30 homes. If, however, reception in this area was so poor that they could expect a 90 to 100 percent subscription rate, or if CC &Rs prohibited antennas, then it would be economically justifiable to la_v trunk or distri- bution lines. ANALYSIS: In considering attaching conditions to tentative tract maps co require cable installation, not only should the cost to extend cable company distribution and trunk lines be considered, the cost per unit to the developer and the need for cable should be analyzed. One of the problems in discussing cable T.V. is the disparity in cost per dtelling unit figures used by various groups or ind4­iduals. The disparity is caused by differences in what these figures represent in terms of actual cable installation: discussing figures on installation of a cable system is futile unless everyone agrees upon what goes into that cable system. Case in point: the fol owing condition was attach - ed to a recent approval of a tract in Upland. Underground utility services shay. include dry -line Cable T.V. facilities. Provided further, that all dwelling units shall be pre -wired for Cable I.V. service. This type of "bla.-. 'Ket condition" doesn't specify the size of conduit, number of pullboxes, or how many cable T.V. outlets each home should have. On the basis of this condition, it would be difficult to ar- rive at a meaningful estimate of the cost per house. -o supply each house in a subdivision and setbacks with cable requires 100 -200 feet of conduit (depending upon lot width and setbacks). A 2 -inch P* '�! conduit costs about 50d a foot, therefore, the cost of con- duit per house is $50 to $60. Add to this the cost of pre-wiring each home, labor, and pull boxes, and the total cost of providing cable ser- vice begins to escalate. (In the Cit, of Rancho Cucamonga, ow, standard condition at this time requires the developer to provide cable televi- sion conduit only.) For example, a recent 125 -lot subdivision in Ontario cost about $60 to $70 per house to install a simple dry -line system, not including the cost of pre - wiring each housa. Ron Nottingham, En- gineer for Lewis Homes, estimates that a complete dry -line cable T.V. system would cost $300 per house, including 3 or 4 outlets in each home at $10 apiece; but, unfortunately, could not itemize this figure. Using costs supplied by the various Cable TV companies and actual con - struction contracts, the following should be an accurate appraisal of the actual cost to install a dry -line system. Cable T.V. Aprii 8, 1981 Page Eight $150 to $180 + __$22.50 $172.50 - 205.00 + 2_ 0.00 $1922.50 - 225.00 2" PVC Conduit, installed @ $1.501ineal foot A'5 pullbox, installed @ $50 each, 1 box Total without pre - wiring /4 homes 2 cable outlets Total with pre - wiring Whatever the installation. cost for cable is, this cost will ultimately be transfer.-ed to the homebuyer in the price of the home. Regardless Of cost, builders resent being required to install what they consider to be a luxury, cable T.V., just the same as if a city required then to provide plumbing for a spa on each lot. Ken Willis, of the Building Industry Association, suraied up this attitude by saying "we oppose it on the basis that you are using one industry to subsidize another industr Y " The need for cable televis' - ion in the City or Rancho Cucamonga is sup- ported by two thoughts; the growing use of Cable T. V. for entertain- ment and the necessity for proper reception. Proponents of cable tele- vision can argue the need for cable T.U. by pointing to the increasing demand among consumers. In il.. :8 about 2.8 million, or 5% of the nation's 56 million T.V. homes h,I cable. Today that figure has climbed to 15.5 million, or 20% of the nation's 76.3 milliou T.V. homes, and indications are that cable T.V. growth will continue to climb. In "shaded" or poor reception areas, people talk about "needing" cable TV so they can continue to enjoy television. Therefore, the saturation factor (read popularity /demand) in Foothill communities is mur.�, higher than in the valley floor. Alta Loma, particulary north of Banya. is a shaded area and, 29% of all homes have cable TV. The present Cable TV compF•ies are operating under a franchise agreement approved and adopted by th -.cunty. Unless the City Council adopts its own Cable TV Ordinance, the City cannot specify to cable companies where and how service must be provided. If the Council adopts such an ordinance and grants new franchises, then precise installation requirements could be imposed on the cable company. As it now exists, cable companies will provide service only in areas where economically feasit,le; i.e., where trunk lines eyist and extensions rrom the main line can be made without substantial cost. Some subdiviscns have been pre- wired, but still do not enjoy service because the main trunk line is not in close proximity and may never be, without major improvement costs. E 11 Cable T.V. Anril 8. 1981 Page Nine If it is the Commission's intent to merely provide the capability to hook -up dwellings to future cable trunks, then this can be accomplished through installation of dry conduit and pre -wired homes, at rather no- minal costs. However, since it is not known if all areas of the City will be served by a company, the Commission may want to consider re- quiring cable installations only in those portions of the City which are considered shaded (bad reception areas). POLICY OPTIONS The following is a IIst of policy options available to the Commission with regard to cable TV. I. Allow developers to work freely with cable companies in deciding which tracts should be provided with cable TV. Basically, a "no policy" stance, would be maintained until the Council considers adoption of an ordinance and franchises. 2. Require cable TV facilities only in areas of the community with poor reception. ® 3. Require cable TV facilities in poor reception areas which are presently served and accessible to a cable company, 4. Condition all subdivisions to provide cable TV facilities in conjunction with the approval of tentative tract maps. RECOMMENDATION: At this time, it would appear inefficient to require all subdivisions to provide cable installations when it is not known whether or not that area will ever ;^eceive service. Until a cable TV ordinance is adopted and franchises granted, this option would seem inappropriate. Therefore, staff recommends that the Planning Commission consider re- quiring installations only in poor reception areas and areas currently served by companies. (Option, No. 3.) tted, BKH:DC:cd:jk
